The Long Awaited Comeback

Finally, after abt 4 months, I made my long awaited return to the soccer court yesterday. Oh my, it sure was good to be back. Seeing the same old faces and getting in among the action was fantastic.

I was quite apprehensive as I was afraid i wld be rusty after being out for so long. it's like coming back from a long term injury man, like a metatarsal or an achilles yeah. So i played the first match as GK, just to ease myself slowly back into the action.

Then, when i finally went outfield, I did better than i expected. I scored a long range effort, a nice volley. Eat yr heart out, CHK Hahaha. And I wasnt as tired as i feared i wld be, bcos i wasnt doing a lot of running and chasing. Hey, gotta give me some time ok!

The bad thing was, there were a lot of teams there yest. Seems like they all came to welcome me back. Not a gd thing, cos i had to wait really long for my turn. I was slowly getting my touch back and went on to score a couple more goals.

All in all, it was a great session and i did better than i expected. Sure hope i will be playing regularly again after this. the only downside is i'm aching all over rite now haha. but it was certainly worth it. good to be back.
